I try to live up to this philosophy: "There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."--Edith Wharton, "Vesalius in Zante," 1902. When I quote or copy something - I'm the mirror - and I hope to spread some light. We can't all be candles - in every respect - always... Some have the talent to be true artists - and you cannot force this talent with knowledge and knowhow - but of course you can only discover your potential by trying to learn the craft from the best craftsmen.
At my level of "TW'ing" I'm in a continous state of awe (don't know if it's the right expression) as I see what people do with TW and I do tinker with "knobs and bolts" myself to make my own adaption - but I don't think of myself as beeing original or innovative in any respect... I pick up and learn, little by little. Descisions and errors are made on the fly - without quite understanding the basics of JS or Html - but it is my way to be able do things with TW. I can only ask for some indulgence, from those of you, who delivers both knowledge and true artistery in JS or Html - Please try to understand. TW is such a rich and versatile instrument, that even someone like me can hack it to do almost everything I want. I admire the effort that has been put into the making of TW and acknowledge the fact that it has become so easy to customize - is a direct result of many, many hours of hard work powered by a strong community and some experts personal devotion to TW.
